LED Gingerbread House "Loveshack"

For the holidays I host an annual gingerbread house decorating event with friends. This year, we stepped it up a notch and built an LED gingerbread house "loveshack".

This is really easy to build with basic electronics knowledge. You'll need:

• Arduino Duemilanove
• Open Heart Kit
• Battery Holder for 6AA's
• Ready to build gingerbread house (I purchased mine at Trader Joes)
• Your favorite candy

The Open Heart Kit has excellent instructions on how to put it together and get your heart working. It's very easy. I would suggest reading its instructions and programming away.

THOSE LEGO PIECES ARE A CHOKING HAZARD!

I just made a gingerbread house too! Check it out on my Tumblr at GoSphero.Tumblr.com. I should have used LEGO pieces though and I love the LED!

The gummy fish over the doorway is a nice touch! Judging by the scale of the fish to the house, i'd say you have a tiger shark up there! That is quite a catch!

the only flaw is that they havent made edible circuitry yet :P

Fair enough -- that's the next frontier :)

Oh me too! Unfortunately we said goodbye to the Gingerbread House last winter. I'll keep that in mind if we do something similar next year :)
